with every one of the hungry-pursed

Henri assisted in the aludr of the

au I with the aid of historical descrip

were enabled to get

over tho ledge of whicli Henri or
Cleopatra, rather was to hana, and
0110 morning I commenced a bold char

was represented in the act of pulling
on the rope, with her two maids, lift

were distorted in the cflorf, and alto

The charm of Henri's arm, exposed

Regulation ol Tcmncralurp.
The power of spontaneous regula
tion of the temperature resides in 1
mechanism whereby more or lest biooc
is sent to the skin us a result of relax
Htiott or of coutractiou of its blood
vessels. When the skin ia heated, iti
vessels relax and coutain a surplus o:
blood, which, if exposed to ordinatj
external influences, rapidly becomei
cooler. Heat is lobt in three ways,
viz. : by radiation, conduction and
evaporation, the amounts given off by
these means varying according to cir
cumstances. It is estimated thai
about seventy per cent, of the whoh
amount of the animal heat passe of
through the integument.
lf the skiu bo freely exposed to coo.
air, much heat is lost by radiation ; il
the Hir be dry and in motion, a still
larger quantity of heat becomes lateul
by the evaporation of the water ex
creted by the sweat-glauds, Thus it it
that, under normal conditions, a rise
in the bodily temperature causes 1
llow of blood to tho skin, followed by
cooling. A man warmed by exercise
and exposed to a current of air rapidly
becomes chilled, and perhaps catches
cold. Lowering of the temperature,
on tho other haud, diminishes th
quantity of blood in the skin, so thai
radiation and conduction of heat from
tho surface are reduced to a minimum.
F.vaporatiou aud radiation from thi
internal surface of the Innijs eonstitut
another means whereby heat is lost,
but for our present purpose it is un
necessary to ilo more than notice tht
fact.
Tho main use of clothing is to pro

There are a great many men who have

A youug accountant lu New York city got
his accounts entangled. He kuew he was
honest, and yet be euuld not mslci hU a !
eounts eonin out right, and he toiled at vbem
day aud night until he was nearly freuzied.
It seemed by those books that something had
been misappropriated, and he knsw before
(lod he was honest. The last day came. IU
knew It he could not that day make his ac
counts come out right he would go Into dis
grace and go lute banishment from the busi
ness establishment. He went over there very
early 'mfore there was auybodv in the place
aud he knelt down at the desk aad aaid:
"0 Lord, thou knowest I have tried to be
honont. but I cannot make these things come
out right! Help me to-day help me this
morning!" The young man arose, and hard
ly knowing why he opened a book that lay
ou the desk, and there was a leaf containing
a line of figure whioh explained everything.
In other word, he east his burduua upon the
Lord, and the Lord sustained bull. louug
man do you hir that
tin, ym. itod nu a svmpstnv witn anybody

Thn there are a great many who have a
weight of tiersceiition nnd abuse upon them.
Hometlmes society gets a grudge against a
man. All his motives Bro misinterpreted,
nnd all his good deeds are depreciated.
With more virtue than some of tho honored
and applauded, ho runs only against raillery
and sharp criticism. When a man begins to
go down, he has not only th force of natur
al gravitation. Imt a hundred hands to help
him in the precipitation. Men are ersx'utd
for their virtues and their successes. or
nmnlciis said he had Just as many bitter an
tagonists as he had adornment. The char
actor sometimes Is so lus.rou. that tho weak
eyes of envy and jealousy cannot bear to
liok at It.
It was their integrity that put Joseph Inthn
pit, lunl In the ,en. and hhndraeh In the
lire, and snt John the Kvnngolist to desolate
Patmos, and Calvin to the east In of persecu
tion, and John Husstothe stake, nnd Korah
after Misies, and Haul after Itavld. and Herod
after Christ, lie sure if you have anything
to do for church or slat", nnd you attempt it
with all your soul, the lightning will strike
you.
The world always has bad a cross between
two thieves for the ono who comes to save it.
High and holy enterprise has always Iwen
followed by abuse. lUeniost sublime trng
edy of self saerallee has com" to burlesipie.
Thegrneeful gait of virtue is always followed
by aeofl and grimace and travesty. The
sweetest strain of oetry ever written haseome
to ridiculous parody, and as long ns them are
virtue and righteousness Iu the world there
will bo something for tnl'piit v to grin nt. All
along the line, of the ages and In all lands the
cry has lieon: "Not this man. but Darabbos.
Now, Il.irabbas was a roblier."
A clergyman of the I'niversnlist church
went Into a nelghlKirhood for the establish
ment of a church of his denomination, and
he was anxious to find some one of that de
nomination, and he was pointed to a eertnin
house and went there. lie said to the man
of the house : "I understand you are a
Uulversiillst. I want you to help m lu tho
enterprise." "Well." said tho man. "I am a
I'nlversallst, but I have a isieullar kind of
L'nlvorsallsm." "What Is that?" asked the
minister. "Well," replied the other, "I have
been out In the World, nnd I have been
cheated and slandared nnd outraged and
abused until I le-lieve lu universal damna
tion ! "
Tho grent danger Is that men will beomn
cynical and given to believe, as David was
tempted to say, that ull men nre liars, oh,
my irlends, do not let that be, the eff's-t upon
your souls If you cannot endure a little
Mrsneution, how do you think our fathers
endured great persecution? Motley, iu his
"Dutch Itepublle," tells us of Lgmont, the
martyr, wno, condemned to lie Is'heade.l,
unfastened his collar on tho way to the scaf
fold, nnd when they asked liini why he did
that he said: "So they will not ls detained
in their work. I want to bo ready." Oh,
how little we have to endure compared with
those who have gone before us !
Now. If you have come across 111 treutment,
let mo tell you you are In excellent company
Christ nnd Luther and Clalllel and Colum
bus and John Jay nnd Josiah uuiuey and
thousands of the lxst men and women, the
best spirits of earth and heaven.
Itudge not one lueh, though all hell wreak
upon you Its vengenco, and you bo in trie
a target for devils to shoot nt. Do you not
think Christ knows all about persecution?
Was he not hlss nl at? Was ho not struck on
the check? Was he not pcrsucd nil the days
of his life? Did they not exectoriite Usjn
him? Or, to put It In Illblo language. "Tney
spit upon htm." And cannot ho uud "rs'.nn l
what persecution ts? "Cast thy burdens
upon tho Lord, and ho shall sustain these."
: Then there are others who carry great
burdens nf physical ailments. When sudden
sickness has come, and llerce 0 loleras aud
malignant fevers take the castle of life by
storm, we niHial to (iod. but iu chronic ail
ments which wear out the strength day by
day, and week after week, end year after
year, how little resorting to Ood for solace!
l'hen ieolo doM'nd upou their tonics, and
their plasters, and their cordials rather than
upon heavenly stimulants.
Oil, how tow people there are completely
well! home of you by dint of perseverance
and care, have kept living to this time, but
how you have had to war against plivslcil
ailment! Antediluvians, without medical
college, and inllrmary and apothecary shop,
multiplied their ages by hundreds, but he who
has gone through the gauntlet of iliseave in
our time nnd has come to 70 years of ago is a
hero worthy of palm.
The world seems to lie a great hospital, and
you run against rheuiNati.sins uud consump
tion" and scrofulas and neuralgias an 1 scores
of old diseases baptized by new noiiieucluture.
Oil. bow heavy a burden sickness is! It takes
the color out of the sky, uud the sparkle out
f the wave, and the sweetness out of the
f.-ult, aud the luster out of the night. When
the limbn ache, when the respiration is paiu
fill, when the mouth is hot. wli-u the ear
roars with unhealthy obstructions, how hard
It Is to bo patient uud cheerful und assidu
ous. "Cast thy burden upon the Lord."
Does your headache? His wore the thorn.
Do your feet hurt? Ills Tfere crush d of tin
spikes. Is your Hide painful? His was
struck by the spear. Do you feel like giving
way under the burden? Ilis weakness gave
way under a cross. While you nro in every
possible way to try to restore your phvsieal
vigor, you are to remember that more sooth
lug than any anodyne, more vitalizing than
any stimulant and more strengthening than
any tonic, is tht prescription of the text,
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he
will sustain thee,"
We hear a groat deal of talk uow about
faith cure, and some x-olo say it cannot be
dou . and it is a failure. 1 do uot know but
that time chief advnnoa of the church is to be
lu that direction. Mt-velous things come to
me day by day which make me think thut if
the age of miracles is past it is because the
fuith of miracles is punt.
A prominent merchant of Now York said
to a uiomlsT of my family, "My mother
wants her case mentioned to Mr. 'i'almage."
Thlswastheca.se. He said: "My mother
bad a dreadful alstcess, from which she had
suffered untold agonies, aud ull surgery had
been exhausted upon her, and worse and
worse she grew until we called lu u few
Christian friends aud proceeded to pray
about it. We commended her ease to God,
and the abscess bognu Immediately to be
cured. Btie Is entirely well now, aud with
out knife and without any surgery." Ho that
case has come to me, aud there are a score of
other c.isns coming to our ears from other
parts of the earth. Oh, ye who are sick
go to Christ! Oh, ye who are worn out with
agonies of body, "Cast thy burden upon the
Lord, and he shall sustain thee!"
Another burden tome have to carry la the
burden of bereavement. Ah these are the
troubles that wear us out! It we lose our
property, by addltloual Industry perhaps we
may brbg back the estranged fortune.
If we loss our good name, perhaps by re
ormatlon of morals we may achieve again
reputation fur integrity, but who will bring
back tho dear departed?
Alas, me, for these empty cradles and
these trunks of childish toys that will
never be used again! Alas, me, fur the empty
ohalr and the alienee In the balls that will
never eebo again to thosi familiar footstejis!
Alas, for the orphnnge and widowhood! What
bitter Maraha In the wilderness, what cities
of the dead, what long, black shadow from
the wing of death, what eye sunken with
grief, what hands tremulous with Imreave
uients, what Instruments of muslo shut now
because there are no finger to play on thorn!
Ia tbere'no relief for such souls? Aye, let that
soul ride lata the harbor of tnv ttt;
Th soul that on Jesus hsth leaned for rt.
I will not. I will tint desert to Us fees m
That soul, though all hell shaU so loir,
shake.
I'll never, no oevsr, no nerer forsake.
Now. the grave Is brighter than the nn'.

A Texas Heme Trader.
Ther is a colored man in Austin,
Texas, by tho name of Mam Johnsin
He has aorno money which he hs tmj,
trading horses, afwliirh business lie it
an expert. One day Judge Teterby
Johnsing trading with au itinerant
horae dealer. Having aome ctiriositr t
know how Ham came out in tho trada,
he asked him :
Did you Bell that fellow
horse?"
"I did, lioss, for a fac"
"How much did vou get?"
"Twenty dollars!"
"Only twenty dollars! Why, rot
are a fool. I hat s a valuable horse.
"Lenime tell you aonmthin', boss.
Dat boss is lame.
Judge Peterby happened to meet tlin
horse, trader afterwards, and sui.1 u
him:
So you paid twenty dollar for tins
horse ?"
"Yea, I paid twenty dollars to ih
dark v. It's a Droit v chean horsn."
"You have beon swindled. The borst
is lame."
I know the liorso is lame, but i:
don t amount to anvthing. Ho limp
because he has not been properly shol
As soon as I take tho shoos off of h:
he will not limp a particle. I wotihh;
take a hundred dollars for that horse.'
Half an hour afterward Judb'.
Peterby met Ham.
"Look here, Ham, yon were swindled,
after nil, in that hor.o trade. The lame
ness of the horse is caused by his not
being properly shod,"
"I know he ain't properly hhod. 1
had him shod that way on purpose,
M tor mako dat boss trader blieve idai
he was lame from dat carao, but! 1 h
troof am dat he is lame, sui 'bWt
and ho cw inter atav lame. Ho neb 11

I fooled dat boss trader."
The same evening JtidgoFoterby saw
the horse trader at the railroad station
Ho was just about to leave on the trui:
for Dallas.
"That horse is really lame. Sam hi
got away with you," after all," su:
I'cterbv.

The Kriulne,
Thn ermine is 11 queer animal. Ii
ts one thing in winter and unotht!
thlt:g In summer. That is a strand
statement, but it Is true, lor 11
winter tho animal's fur is as wh ii
as snow and is called the ermine. 1
summer its fur turns reddish brow:
on the upper part of the body aud
light yellow on the lower part; tnJ
annual Is then known as tho stoat.
This change is quite familiar t
naturalists but not to unscicntit!
pcopo, and the ermine aud the stoat
are, therefore generally regarded aj
distinct animals.
The fur of tho ermine is much va I
tied and Is In great request. At on
time it was a mark of royaltv, an
the state robes of Judges and tua.l
Istratcs were lined w.th it as an ci:
blem of purity.
